I have this favorite pair of capri slacks with the cutest flower embroidered on the pockets. They are a small size and I hadn't worn them since 2008. Well, I'm wearing them and they are a measure of how much I have lost and I will keep wearing them to let me know if I get off track.

I lose inches before weight, but I know because my clothes are looser.

I had developed a serious fear of booth seating ever since an incident a couple years ago while travelling, where I found I could not physically fit into the booth seats in a little pizzaria... granted they were pretty narrow seats but still, the indignity of trying to sit down and not being able to... was jarring. I was glad never to have to show my face in that town again.

Then I began the process of discovered that it was becoming increasingly uncomfortable in the booth seats even at such "large-friendly" places as Dennys and McDonalds. Uh oh. I eventually stopped even attempting to sit in a booth seat and would head straight to table-and-chair seating as a matter of course.

Now, I fit in booth seats. Comfortably! (But maybe not the ones in that pizzaria... i swear there was something wrong with their design lol).

I bought a coach bag at an outlet about 8 yrs ago, when I bought it , it was on the largest it could be and felt short like it was right under the breast and it was suppose to be a longer bag. I used this handbag the other day for the first time since buying it, I loved the look of the bag but didn't feel comfy using it ..... WELL not anymore I put my things in it cause I didn't want to use a large handbag and it kept falling off my arm as I walked and I was like hmmm this was never like this hahahaha I was like what is the difference? So I belted it up a little more and it's still long haha the difference is that I CHANGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the rolls of fat that were on the sides of my body making this bag seem short were gone and that's why it was longer and even belting it up it's still long and it was a small victory that I didn't even realize till I sat down and thought for a few minutes why I hadn't been using the bag. Isn't it great when you get an unexpected victory like that? What's yours?
